@Laorothy@BehizyTweets@benshapiro Worked out pretty well for us in that example. We should wait until things get more serious before we send pallets of cash over endlessly
@patriciamdavis@SohrabAhmari@NewStatesman They aren’t “taught” by the old texts. Thats the fundamental misunderstanding.
Those old texts are like minutes of a meeting. And you hear various rabbis explain positions. Some are worse than others. That doesn’t mean it was “teaching” it. It means some bad rabbis voiced things
@RevGregorySNeal@thavalajoe @Babs4963 @annamlulis Happily with the baptists that aren’t changing doctrine to fit the times- something that Methodists have allowed many to leave the church over. Because even as the eras come and go, God’s truth remains.
@ReeseM762 @GROWFOODQUICK@JustinRBayless@XianZFG@HeimlichMature@empireenjoyer10 That doesn’t change the fact that the norm for the societies was sex within marriage. Look at the literature that was popular. It is about getting married.
Just because some people slept around doesn’t change what the social norms and stigmas are.
@ReeseM762 @GROWFOODQUICK@JustinRBayless@XianZFG@HeimlichMature@empireenjoyer10 Read the book When Harry Became Sally. It is literally about this. Social pressures can absolutely cause adolescent girls to identify with labels simply because their friends and people around them are. And there are studies referenced.
@ReeseM762 @GROWFOODQUICK@JustinRBayless@XianZFG@HeimlichMature@empireenjoyer10 That’s silly.
You’re seeing a massive increase in women identifying as bi, and there are studies showing that a plurality still exclusively date men.
Bc they want the label
You also see trends of transgenderism being spread through female friend groups in middle school.
@ReeseM762 @GROWFOODQUICK@JustinRBayless@XianZFG@HeimlichMature@empireenjoyer10 And the soddom and Greece (which is real btw?) point wasn’t even meant as a right/wrong. It was an example of different sex culture. Which is a different sexual culture than, for example, most of western history wherein sex is for the purpose of marriage&kids
@ReeseM762 @GROWFOODQUICK@JustinRBayless@XianZFG@HeimlichMature@empireenjoyer10 And if you do chalk it up as pure animalistic sexuality, then you’ve just come full circle to justifying social stigmas/restrains. Same as we have social stigmas on impulsive love for money, reputation, or other thrill seeking.
@ReeseM762 @GROWFOODQUICK@JustinRBayless@XianZFG@HeimlichMature@empireenjoyer10 Human homosexuality CAN be an animalistic/hedonism pleasure seeking. See Greece or Soddom
It can be a cultural phenomenon or due to social pressures.
See men that were traumatized, had abusive fathers, felt feminine etc.
There’s plenty to say. But it’s not the same as animals
